Already have a Lamaze account?

Please help us keep a clean database of records, and to ensure all of your Lamaze activity is tracked under one account. If you previously created an account with us, please log in or use the 'Login' link in the top right corner of the site.

Even if you've forgotten your username or password - no problem - our Username and/or Password Help, also located on the Login screen, will look up your account and help you get logged in. You'll just need the e-mail address you used to sign up. You may also Contact Us for help obtaining your username or password.

Looking to renew your existing Lamaze membership?

You'll just need to log in first, rather than creating a new account. Please visit our renewal page to get started with your membership renewal.

If you previously created a Non-Member account with us, simply log in to your existing account, and all of the same Lamaze memberships options will be available for you to join on this page - we'll just already know who you are!

Don't have a Lamaze account yet?

Lamaze International welcomes prospective members and all others who need an account to pursue Lamaze Certification, register for our events, or make purchases from our website. If you haven't created an account with us before, you may choose from the options below:

For former/retired LCCE educators who no longer practice and maintain credentials and were previously certified educators. Lamaze Educator Emeritus members receive the online version only of The Journal of Perinatal Education. Our staff will review all applications to ensure previous certification with Lamaze.

Membership will be valid through the calendar year in which it is activated.

For expectant or new parents, or former/retired LCCE educators who no longer practice and maintain credentials. Parent advocate members receive the online version only of The Journal of Perinatal Education.

Membership will be valid through the calendar year in which it is activated.

Students will be automatically added as student members within 4-7 weeks of completing the Lamaze-Accredited Childbirth Education Seminar.

They will receive a confirmation e-mail with information about logging in and membership benefits once they have been added as student members.

After the student membership expires, one can renew membership in Lamaze International as a Regular Member.
